Router advice (alien.top)

Hello, I have a 2000 sq ft home with Xfinity Internet. I'm currently getting 89.2 down and 94.7 up. Running 13-15 devices (phones, computers, TV's) for things such as streaming and gaming. All walls are wooden frames+drywall. Can anyone be so kind as to give me some recommendations? My brother installed the Google home router system but it sucks so I'm looking to change it. Please advise. No budget. I'm willing to spend if needed.

My neighbor got this set for his 3000 sq ft colonial. He has his main one in the basement and only deployed one of the units and he has good coverage all through the house. Recommend setting the 5ghz band to 80mhz channel width from 160mhz to not hog the band and get a little further range.
